It allowed Missouri and then Maine (which also applied for statehood) to become states. A lot of states were on the edge on wether to admit or not allow a state that allows slavery into the states.

Answer:
(i) First, it is important to remember the context. America was in the midst of a bloody civil war. Union troops had only recently defeated Confederate troops at the Battle of Gettysburg. It was a the turning point in the war. The stated purpose of Lincoln’s speech was to dedicate a plot of land that would become Soldier’s National Cemetery. However, Lincoln realized that he also had to inspire the people to continue the fight.
Below is the text of the Gettysburg Address, interspersed with my thoughts on what made it so memorable.
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
“Four score and seven” is much more poetic, much more elegant, much more noble than “Eighty-seven”. The United States had won its freedom from Britain 87 years earlier, embarking on the “Great Experiment”.
(ii) The Emancipation Proclamation and Thirteenth Amendment brought about by the Civil War were important milestones in the long process of ending legal slavery in the United States. This essay describes the development of those documents through various drafts by Lincoln and others and shows both the evolution of Abraham Lincoln’s thinking and his efforts to operate within the constitutional boundaries of the presidency.
<span>Overtime, black and night (best association with
darkness) and winter are common literary symbols for death. In literature overtime, night has been
considered as the strongest symbol for death. Winter on the other hand;
although it is not associated with darkness, it is true to one of Robert Frost’s
on his "Stopping
by a Wood on a Winter's Night" .</span>
<span>Examples of literary works
that can justify that these words are used to symbolize death.
"It's the light they believe that kills/we
drink and load again and let them crawl</span>
<span>into the darkness we're headed
for"--- Shooting Rats at the Bibb County Dump by David Bottoms
"Do not go gentle into that good night </span>
<span> Old age should rage against the closing of the
day </span>
<span> Rage, rage against the dying of the
light." ---Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night Dylan Thomas</span>
